Depending on the availability of natural foods, deer will eat just about anything if they get hungary enough & nothing short of a physical barrier will keep them out. One year, they even ate my okra! I've tried it all over the years; the one thing that worked most of the time was Milorganite; it is composted sewage sludge & smells like....well, you get the idea. Even that did not stop the deer two years ago, and besides, I'm not so sure I want that, ahhhh, stuff in my garden. Do not waste your money on any spray, none of it works. If they are hungary, they will eat it. Peeing in the garden, dogs, human hair.....none of it worked. Two things did work for me. I've got rolls of old fencing; I lay it flat on the ground beside the crops the deer are eating. It works because the deer do not walk on it. A one strand electric fence works, baited w/ peanut butter. Take a piece of tin, put it in a "V", fill it w/ peanut butter & hang it on the fence. Make sure you have it all in working order, then turn it on. Bambi sticks his nose in the peanut butter & gets zapped. Short of that, it is a big tall fence or a shotgun. We do not have a problem w/ rabbits; we have a pair of Red Tail Hawks in the area & the neighbors have cats.
